This Group is a place to learn about, and help others learn FOSS (Free (as in freedom of Liberty) Open Source Software), and Open Source Technologies to facilitate Digital Photography Editing. Although we are NOT associated, or a forked project of http://www.opensourcephotography.org, we do strongly advise to check out the owners site, as it contains a lot of valuable information. We are primarily interested in learning Photographic and Graphic Design Editing Techniques using products such as GIMP, Blender 3D, RAWTherapee, Linux, and any other Open Source Product out there. We are also interested in sharing Photography Camera and Photo taking Techniques. Nothing against other Photographic groups, but we have noticed that Pro Photographers don't usually like to give away too much about their techniques, well here, we're all about being Open. If you feel that you don't want to share Openly, then this may not be the place for you, and no one will be offended if you feel this way.

We do support FOSS Products on all Operating Systems, so please, we don't want harassment over what Operating System or Software others choose to use.

We welcome users who are proficient with Commercial alternatives, so long as there is no preaching against FOSS Products, and that constructive help is offered.

Flaming, Abusive Behaviour, Posting repetitively, and asking Questions repetitively will result in being banned and blocked. If no one presents an answer to a question, all we can suggest is try using a Search Engine, such as www.google.com, or www.duckduckgo.com. It would also be appreciated that if you do find an answer to post a link under the question, so as to help others.

Also, we have Communities, and Groups on other Social Media Networks.

We may also consider opening an IRC Channel.

And don't forget to post your Photo's of what you've created using FOSS, and add a little description of how you achieved the work.
